Description:
This fast-paced book takes you on a whirlwind tour of Quicken 99 software, showing you how to perform the main tasks that Quicken users need to know. While its colorful format is welcoming to new users, the book does not supply a screen shot for every step; users who have a bit of familiarity with the interface may have better success than complete novices. The book begins by showing you how to set up an account and record transactions within it. Once you are comfortable with the basics, Quicken 99 for Busy People tells you how to categorize transactions and customize some of the features within your account. The middle chapters of the book instruct you on how to reconcile your accounts, write and print checks, and take advantage of the timesaving online options that Quicken offers for paying bills and following accounts. In addition, you will learn how to set reminders, run reports, track loans and assets, perform household budgeting, manage investment activity, and estimate your taxes. This guide draws attention to expert advice, timesaving tips, cautions, and word definitions. Color screen shots and illustrations make the examples easy to see, but savvy users may find the cartoon-like drawings to be condescending. --Cristina Vaamonde
